What the Earth Knows

Although I believe in creation as told in Genesis (In the beginning God. . . ), most environmentalists and global warmists don't, so they could benefit from this calm assessment in American Scholar of geologic time. The web page was pretty messed up on my screen, so I'm linking to the print version.

"The geologic record as we know it thus suggests that climate is a profoundly grander thing than energy. Energy procurement is a matter of engineering and keeping the lights on under circumstances that are likely to get more difficult as time progresses. Climate change, by contrast, is a matter of geologic time, something that the earth routinely does on its own without asking anyone’s permission or explaining itself."
